This is my first buell so this is all new to me, any help would be great!! Here we go.....

I've got a 98 S1W that i put a newer swingarm on , it was on an M2 but originally came off an X1. Anyways, everything went together smooth and have had little to no issues with the bike untill now! The rubber isolators that go on either side of the swingarm (at the front pivot point) have ripped and come out of their mounting location. I checked the manual and it looks like everything is correct and im not missing anything. Im not sure if this is a common problem for these bikes but it seems like a really bad way to hang the swingarm, there's just not enough support! I've had a friend who has his own shop check it out and we really cant see why they would rip out like that! Any thoughts?

The isolators have nowt to do with the swingarm, they locate the engine to the frame.
Early isolators were famous for failing.....you should have used the later 01 style when you did the swingarm conversion, they're £11.33 each and are indestructable.

The new style isolators look like this. Note the metal lip.
